Easy Chicken Taco Recipe #Nutrisystem

This is a super quick and easy way to jazz up your taco and make it extra healthy as well. One thing that I’ve found with my family, they don’t question whether or not it’s healthy as long as it tastes good. This recipe is a great way to include nutritional food in their diet. 🙂

Here’s some nutritional information that shows that making some minor changes in your recipe can have some major benefits!

First, you can save 40 calories just by switching to fat-free cottage cheese. A 1/2-cup serving of fat-free cottage cheese has only 80 calories (compared to a 1/2-cup serving of 4% fat product that has about 120 calories).

Next, you can save almost 100 calories just by using a whole wheat tortilla. A wheat tortilla (six-inch diameter) has only 53 calories. compared to a flour tortilla that has 150 calories.

Easy Hummus Recipe #Nutrisystem

This is a super quick and easy hummus recipe, that will save you a BUNCH over buying it at the store.

My family really enjoys healthy snacks that they don’t know are good for them, such as this yummy dip! It’s great for breakfast or as an appetizer. I hadn’t even considered making my own hummus until just recently when my cousin introduced me to her recipe. It is SO easy. Just a few ingredients, chop in a food processor or blender, and within minutes you’ve got a healthy, inexpensive snack for you and your family. And really, how many things are there to make with chickpeas or garbanzo beans anyway! Plus, there are lots of choices for flavors to add also.

Compare prices and save! A 16 oz tub of hummus can cost $5 – $10 at the deli (my favorite is Trader Joe’s Hummus!) But why spend that much when you can MAKE this hummus for around $2 or less for 16 oz!!

Easy Hard Boiled Egg Recipe ~ Perfect Hardboiled Eggs Every Time

Making hard boiled eggs is easy, and takes only a few minutes. Be cautious of eating too many egg yolks (the yellow inner part) because they’re high in cholesterol. Whether or not cholesterol is good for you or bad for you, too much is not good. My doctor told me no more than 3 egg yolks per week. Consult with your own doctor to find out what’s best for you.

Easy/Hard boiled? Sounds like an oxymoron. LOL! But there’s nothing redundant about eggs! Hard boiled eggs are naturally rich in iron and high in protein. They make a great after-school snack or use in salads, or eat solo for breakfast. You can hard boil a dozen eggs and color them for Easter eggs! Hide them in your house or lawn and have a fun Easter egg hunt on the cheap. You can also hard boil eggs, remove the yolk, mix in a few spices and mayo then replace to make deviled eggs. Yum!

In a large container combine the powdered sugar and cake mix and then set aside.

Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Follow the instructions the chips came with, or if did not come with any, place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. After you heat them for 1 minute, mix and then heat again in 15 second intervals,stirring after each time, until the chocolate chips are all melted

Add the Chex cereal to the melted chocolate, or if you find it easier to just pour the melted chocolate over the cereal, do that. Stir gently, getting all of the cereal coated with the white chocolate. Once you have all the cereal coated, add the sprinkles.

Add the cereal that you just coated with melted white chocolate and sprinkles to the large container with the powdered sugar/cake mix. Put the lid on the container and shake it to get the cereal coated with the powdered sugar/cake mix. (Note: You can also do this with a ziplock bag if you prefer. Just add the chex that has been coated with the chocolate to a ziplock with the sugar/cake mix and shake it).

Red Solo Cup. These iconic cups are now even more useful than ever. Did you know? Solo cup lines can be used for measuring!
